I have been fishing a piece of private property for about a year and half. The owner told us about a month ago there was a large flock (100-200) of pelicans that had been hanging around. A typical day of fishing there between three tanks, we would usually catch 20+ fish each. Since then, we have caught 0-4 each. All three tanks on the property have a large amount of coon tail moss, and One has a very healthy population of lily pads. Has anyone experienced a similar pelican invasion? Can they eat larger fish (3-6 lbs)? Any other ideas what may be going on?

Pelicans are terrible for private lakes and ponds. They can and do eat lots of fish. But, eating 3lb+ bass would be unlikely. Eating small bass and bluegill are far more likely. The biggest issue is that they eat the forage that feed the bass.
